What to watch: Barrio Boy
A handsome stranger sends ripples through Brooklyn's Latino community.
Building on the short film of the same name that he released in 2014, filmmaker Dennis Shinners now presents the feature-length version of Barrio Boy.
One hot summer, Quique - a Nuyorican barber living in a rapidly changing Brooklyn neighbourhood - embarks on an erotically charged odyssey of self-discovery.
A chance encounter on a basketball court sparks an instant attraction between Quique and a handsome Irish stranger passing through town to settle his late father’s affairs. As this friendship blossoms, so do suspicions about the nature of their relationship - especially to the jealous eye of Cuz, his childhood friend who’s now the local tough guy.
Quique’s quest for love and self-acceptance is further realised as he navigates his way through complex and often messy layers of sexuality, family, friends, race and class.
Barrio Boy is distributed by Peccadillo Pictures
